A quite broken design, I'd say.

And what would this do to Widnows *.bat batch files, that are already
in CR/LF format, and should stay that way (or else some versions of
Windows shells will refuse to run them), including in the repository?
IMHO, a design of a distributed version-control package which doesn't
take into account that files will be checked in and out from clients
running on different platforms, and that some files need to be in
non-Unix end-of-line format -- such a design is Unix-centric (read:
broken).
